The forfeit money $3.50 of the Steuben-
Vile club was forfeited to the League.
Mr.. Elliott for Columbus and Mr.. yoegele
for Mansfield filed an account to the Lea
que for compensation for the loss Of the
Fourth Of July date for the former and
the three games of the latter scheduled
this week, both with the defunct team.
On motion, Mansfield was given $40 and
Columbus $3.50 of the forfeit.
On motion of Mr.. Elliott, seconded by
Mr.. English, the matter Of filling the va
'cancy Was left in the hands Of the League
officers, with power to act There are sew
eral cities that would like to enter the
League in place of Steubenville. The first
that will make application and put up the
forfeit will be admitted.
On motion of Mr.. Elliott, Mansfield was
instructed to draw upon Akron for $40, on
account of rain game played in that city
In May.
The GAINESVILLE Tmes-Reeorder has this
about the last Akron GAINESVILLE game
there: "Lersch's righ: field play also de-
serves special mention. He dropped two
easy fly balls, let an easy grounder pass
him, and capped the climax by throwing
the ball into the grand-stsnd in his en-
deayor to throw runner out at the plate. l"
The withdrawal of the Steubenville club
from the League makes quite difference
in the standing of the clubs, working to
the advantage of Columbus and TO the dis
advantage of GAINESVILLE and Kalamazoo. -

A match game of base ball on Friday
evening at the Camp Grounds, between
the Silver Leafs, with Roy Naylor IS cap
tain, and the Chestnuts, With Henry Sea
mon as captain, resulted in favor Of the
former by a score Of . 0. Umpire, Dick
Robb.
Bauer did right in tining Strothers yes
terday. His conduct WAS unbecoming q
ball-player and was the worst exhibition
of malice and bad temper ever seen in the
city. 1t is surprising that Captain Curry
did not at once call him in and fine him for
his bad break.
The Sandusky team are pretty hard
losers. Such kicking on every little pre-
tense is disgrace TO the National game.
The slugging Of Nichol was terrific, he
batting the only Clarke to the time Of
three singles and two doubles out of five
times at bat.
Stentzel caught great came and ham
died Sulivan's delivery in fine style.
sullivan did very good work in the box
considering that he only arrived in this
city yesterday morning after thirty-six
hours trip. He had no sleep night before
last and felt very tired, but he showed
good speed and puzzled the Sandusky's
in great shape. He will probably pitch
one of the GAINESVILLE games tomorrow.
Bauer is firm at the right time, and his
action in fining Strothers is universally
commended. He is the best umpire that
has ofiiciated on the grounds this season.
He will have charge Of the Fourth Of July
games here, and square deal may be
looked forward TO by both mines.
People will accommodate the manage
ment as well rs themselves by purchasing
tickets at Meders cigar store. Those
wishing seats will do well TO be at the
grounds as early as possible, As there will
he great rush.
